CHURCH HEALTH STATIONS:

Saint John’s Health Stations, located in eight Anderson churches, are making a positive and profound impact in health education and promotion, illness prevention and access to health services in their neighborhoods.

Originally the church-based health stations targeted the African-American community. The latest new Health Stations take the program into more neighborhoods with a broader focus.

The health stations promote personal health awareness through health screenings, displays, and instructional materials. Health education programs, organized and hosted by the churches, add another dimension to the health ministry. At monthly meetings, Healthcare Ministry volunteers share ideas from their stations. These health screening/educational centers are designed to increase awareness of health risks. They are not first-aid or treatment centers.
